Never mind the weather

In between the weather Diz took me and Angel to Ilkely on Monday and we walked by the river so we wouldn't get blown off the moor.
And the river was full

This is the first 'you expect me to fly in this wind' picture of the week as we were walking up stream

and then as we were going down on the other side, we spotted what seemed like a rehearsal of 'mad dogs and englishmen' that turned into potential duke of ed awardees and then finally resolved into firemen on rescue practice.



On Thursday we went to Whitby.  First stop was Sausage and Blackpudding pie at Humble Pie, where Angel got complemented on her manners,

then we had a look at the sea (we could see the white horses from the top of the moor it was that rough!)





It blew the cobwebs off with a vengence. We got in the shelter of west cliff and climbed up to see where we are going to stay in June but due to streets in Whitby having different names on either side of the road, we didn't find West Terrace.
But we did make it to Beckett's (the cake shop) - the next part of the plan - and it was CLOSED till the 15th!
So, we had coffee outside and no cake but out of the wind as far as we were concerned but maybe not this herring gull's opinion

Bird not flying no.2

And somewhere in there I finally delivered Diz's noren.  It seems a bit on the short side to me.
